Septerra Core would be an average game on consoles, but the lack of JRPGs on PC make it someway "special". The graphics don't look specially good, the voice acting is pretty much terrible and the gameplay is nothing you haven't seen on Playstation or Super Nintendo, but the interesting story and this console-like charm make it still a good game. And not only a good game, but a unique game for rpg lovers who don't have a console. Well... you can always play Square crappy ports of Final Fantasy VII and VIII.
That's it, IL-2 Sturmovik is my first flight sim, so I don't have the experience nor the background to write a depth review. Instead, I can point out a few things that everyone who haven't played flight sims before (like me) should know about this game: - IL-2 Sturmovik is a very difficult game... if you want. Because you can turn the difficulty to "easy" and go step by step till you can do everything by yourself and fly solo. - The game features hundreds of differents planes. Plus you can easily design new skins for your favourite planes. Which leaves you with a infinite number of planes. Cool, isn't? - You can make your own missions and scenarios. Plus you have dozens of campaign missions just ready to be played. - While playing the game with a joystick is obviosly better, you can easily enjoy IL-2 Sturmovik with a good controller (I'm using a logitech dual action and works just fine). - Conclusion: don't be afraid of flight sims, try this one and you may discover a great new genre.
